Bioplastics specialist FKUR Kunststoff will be presenting a broad range of biodegradable, biobased and natural fibre reinforced compounds at Ecopack 2012. During recent months company has concentrated their development work on new formulations for injection moulding and film applications. These intelligent and tailor-made compounds, made from renewable resources, enable our customers to explore new applications and markets.

Besides their well-established product lines “Bio-Flex” and “Biograde, company will present their new custom-made green polyethylene compounds with the brand name “Terralene” which are based on Braskem’s “Green PE”.

Company will introduce pure Green PE for the first time at a European trade show. In contrast to traditional polyethylene the ethanol used for Green PE is derived from Brazilian sugar cane rather than from crude oil. Through the use of this renewable raw material, each tonne of Green PE is able to capture up to 2.5 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere, thus helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Green PE and Terralene are 100 % compatible with conventional polyethylene having identical properties. It is also possible to recycle both materials in the same recycling stream.
